2006 CONFERENCE
The 2006 Conference was held in Adelaide on 20-21 February. Over 350 delegates attended the two day event. A highlight of the conference was the Leaders’ Forum on Day 1, in which Federal, State and Provincial ministers and senior executives of 4 of Australia’s leading companies discussed climate change in a conversation moderated by former NSW Premier, Bob Carr. The clear message throughout the presentations and from all speakers was that business – and state governments – want clear policy on climate change so that they can make long term investment decisions. All speaker presentations are now available.
The organisers would like to thank all the speakers for their valuable contribution and all the delegates for attending and supporting the event. Your feedback on the conference is welcome. A follow-on event is anticipated for the second half of 2007. If you would like to be notified of this event or are interested in sponsorship or speaking opportunities, please contact the conference organisers.
